chapter fifteen - trauma

Not long after explaining everything to Sebastian, he went for a nap. I felt relieved to speak about it but it still held a massive weight on my shoulders. I wanted more answers as to how this all connects and why I'm seeing these memories.

Even though I wanted to rest, I just couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, nothing worked.

I just decided to go for a walk, it was pretty late so I doubt I'd have to encounter anyone, hopefully anyway.

I crept out the door hoping to not wake Sebastian up, closing the door behind me, I looked around at the peaceful environment.

While I'm walking, I starts to notice strange things happening around me. I see shadows moving in the corner of my eye, hearing whispers coming from the darkness, feeling as if I'm being followed. If I'm being completely honest, I started to feel like I was losing my mind.

I'm not sure if what I'm seeing or hearing is real or just my silly imagination.

I turn around, but there's no one there. Something isn't right, shivers ran down my spine. I quickly pick up my pace, hoping to get back to the house.

I knew I shouldn't have strayed a bit far.

All the noise stopped and I thought I was safe, maybe I really was imagining it all, that's what I thought until a loud footstep treads towards me.

''Well, well, what do we have here?'' My body turns and it was a poacher.

Truthfully, I wasn't as worried anymore. I mean come on, I wiped out so many of them.

''Don't want to speak, eh?'' His dark voice spoke as he had his wand beside him, my eyes darted at it.

I swiped my wand out pointing it towards him.

''No need for that.'' He let out a laugh.

''Confringo!'' I shouted out as the poacher was knocked back.

His facial expression turned into anger, I noticed he was about to cast.

''Cru-''

''Avada Kedavra''

There laid his lifeless body, I didn't feel an ounce of guilt, why on earth should I?

Now I was thinking about how I was going to tell Sebastian, I couldn't bring up the fact I used the killing curse. Not after what happened with Solomon.

Maybe I should just lie.

Why do these things always happen to me.

I sighed and walked away, leaving the limp body behind.

''What a dickhead.''

I was stood in front of the house, I'm praying to Merlin that Sebastian is still asleep.

Very slowly, I opened the door and entered the house.

It seems he is still asleep.

I turned around to close the door.

''And where have you been?'' A low voice spoke.
